The regular readers will remember, in Rundbrief 10/1998 we already reported on the "Lost Coast," the stretch of coastline near Mendocino that is cut off from Highway 1.
Because it was so nice back then, we did it again: This time we really sped along deserted, unpaved country roads right by the ocean, and the good old "PERL MAN" even had to cross a small creek. He did creak a bit when the underbody slid over a small rock, but he made it through without any damage to the oil pan. As a reward, he got a hand car wash at home.
The beaches of the "Lost Coast" are truly unique and generally deserted. You only come across quite large (20 cm in diameter), plump, colorful starfish that you can toss back into the water with a stick if you're in a good mood. By the way, starfish are called "starfish" in English and not "sea star," as Angelika once amusingly said in kindergarten.
However, you can forget about going there: Last week, the place "Shelter Cove" on the Lost Coast was on TV. The series "Bay Area Backroads" reported on it in detail and, here's the kicker, even showed our motel room called "Captain's Lodge"! Goodbye Lost Coast, it's gonna be busy now, sorry!
